On top of that, there's the fact that the system is so reliant on its unique GamePad controller – many games actively require you to use it rather than other controllers, and you can't even change your system settings without it.

Holy fucking shit nintendo.

That’s probably the least of your worries, tbh. It’d be like missing the bottom screen of a 3DS.
